Based closely on the 2014 video game, itself inspired by the real-life Siege of Sarajevo that took place between 1992 and 1996 during the Bosnian War and resulted in the death of more than 5,000 civilians, This War of Mine is a sobering simulation of the day-to-day struggle of everyday people caught up in a conflict beyond their control.

While I enjoyed playing TWoM, I did not like it anywhere near as much as I thought I would. The combination of a thematic cooperative game should have been mana from heaven for me, but this game had several issues that kept it from being great. Everything I liked about the game was a double-edged sword that also had a down side. War is hell. It’s often easy to forget the real, human cost of conflict when flesh and blood becomes plastic; death and suffering a few sentences on a piece of card. That’s not the case with This War of Mine: The Board Game.Iglesias Amorín, Alfonso (30 December 2022).

During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n Theel, Charles (28 October 2017).

Matt Liebl (November 21, 2014). "This War of Mine Review (PC)". GameZone. Archived from the original on November 26, 2014 . Retrieved April 29, 2018. This War Of Mine: The Board Game is the tabletop adaptation of the award-winning video game that pictures the drama of civilians trapped in a war-torn city. It’s a far cry from the daring of lone heroes fighting to end wars single-handedly or the detached tactical coldness of sweeping strategy titles, as players try to scrape together the food and water needed to simply survive another day in the hope a ceasefire will take place. This War of Mine is not about Ukraine. It's not about any single conflict. It is about every conflict, and every innocent person imprisoned inside them.a b c Hall, Charlie (17 May 2016).
